I have been on 25mcg of sythroid for 12 days now for treatment of hypothyroid condition, last night I noticed a bald spot on the top of my head bigger than a quarter and some of the surrounding hairs turned white. I have had extremly thick black hair my entire life, I have only found 3 white hairs in the past 3 years even though I am 37 years old, I have also had swollen eyes in the morning where I have to put an ice pack on them to get rid of the bags under my eyes. I think I would rather have the hypthyroid symptoms than th synthroid side effects.
